  • Another major issue I had was the community itself. When troubleshooting the issues I’ve had over the years, one big problem that kept popping back up was how toxic and condescending the Linux community can be. On more than a few occasions my requests for help on forums were met with passive aggressiveness and hostility because I “should have known better” or something along those lines. The most recent example I can think of was someone asking me to post a debug log to troubleshoot an issue I had and I had to ask him where to find the log. He told me the folder it would be in but not the folder path to get there. When I asked again where to find the log, he just told me that “maybe Linux isn’t for you”.

    I had almost exactly this same issue years ago when I tried Mint. I was trying to get something to work (I think install games on Steam? Something like that) and it would just do nothing, no message, etc. When I asked for help, I was told "This is super obvious" and after trying their suggestions and having them all fail, was told "just go back to windows."

    Ok, done?

    (It also doesn't help that there is a huge difference between 'you can use the terminal' and 'you have to use the terminal.' I'm an 80's kid, I grew up with DOS, so I understand how to navigate terminals, I just don't want to constantly.)

  • Lester, who later said he saw a large Black man at his door and was scared, shot through a glass storm door and then shot Yarl once again when he fell.

    I don't think the media needlessly added race to it, the guys statement did.

  • Finally beat cancer

    Jump

  • We can use it as a one-time cure for a bunch of current cancer patients, or we can use it to continue further research towards a permanent, universally-available cure.

    How is this what's happening? Who said it's a one-time-only thing? Who said they can't also research permanently available cure? Wouldn't proving that removing the debt is a huge boon to everyone cause people to invest more in the idea of a cure?

  • Last I checked, yes here it is:

    As an ideology, black nationalism encompasses a diverse range of beliefs which have variously included forms of economic, political and cultural nationalism, or pan-nationalism.[9][7] It often overlaps with, but is distinguished from, similar concepts and movements such as Pan-Africanism, Ethiopianism, the back-to-Africa movement, Afrocentrism, Black Zionism, and Garveyism.[5] Critics of black nationalism say it promotes racial and ethnic nationalism, separatism and black supremacy, and they compare it to white nationalism and white supremacy. However, the Southern Poverty Law Center says that black nationalist groups exist in a "categorically different" environment than white nationalists in the United States.

    I'm white, my dad (also white) played blues guitar, and I've never run into anything remotely like what you're describing.

    And if it turns out that the SPLC was totally wrong, and 'Black Nationalism' takes over and commits genocide on white people, that's definitely something we'll be worried about.

  • Sorry I meant Blocking; if you make a post, it will (visually) show replies on it. However you don't get any toast notifications, and you can't see the message itself. Also if they reply to a comment in something you've posted, you'll see a 'see more replies' or something on it, but it won't actually open.

  • I can see that they've commented, but not what, and I can see if there are no responses to their comment. Occasionally my posts get comment counts on them, but I don't see the message, and people aren't responding to them either (or it would show more messages). It's great.

  • My lemmy experience was immeasurably improved when I muted that wave of misogynists who came to lemmy recently. It's far superior to just see them screaming into a void, rather than disproving their garbage over and over again.

  • Yeah Nazis are a problem in pretty much all subcultures

    I don't know if I agree with that; well, I agree they're always a problem, but if you're a Jazz or Blues fan for example, I imagine there aren't the same issues we have in Metal.

  • So we're agreed, firearms aren't necessary.

  • Where did I say that?

    And none of these We Need Our Guns For Defense! comments are address that the main cause of death of your children is firearms. How many children have to die to prevent this theoretical tyrannical takeover? Where were all you guys with your guns when a coup was attempted?

  • But the realities of the past several years have shown us that an armed rebellion can be significantly more powerful. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan, look at Myanmar today where the rebel groups are literally 3D printing carbines.

    Couple things, but mostly: 1. How free are people in Iraq and Afghanistan, exactly? 2. Rebel groups are illegally printing carbines. The legality of it is meaningless. They aren't taking on the US military on it's own soil.

    If you guys are saying that making death-by-gun the most common form of death for children in the USA, even above cars is worth it for some maybe-one-day-we'll-be-a-militia-group seems like the most sad and specious logic I've ever heard. I'm a parent and theoretically fighting some imaginary war (which we've been hearing about for decade after decade...) takes a definite backseat to my kids making it through school un-shot-at.

    And virtually every armed rebellion that worked happened in a nation where firearms were heavily restricted, so the laws are meaningless. Hell you could only own a smoothbore shotgun at most in the soviet union, and last I checked a whole bunch of those countries had armed rebellions.

  • Do you not think cops are more likely to kill black people if there’s a gun ban regardless whether they are armed?

    That's some wicked grammar there, but... no? Why would the cops kill less black people if specific firearms are banned?

    They are trying to use school shootings to ignite a civil war.

    What?

    Also, I feel Americans need to see this, and maybe consider that all these children dying isn't necessary for their hobby or 'self defense' claims:

    USA has eight times the rate (as in percentage, not total_ of firearms deaths as Canada, which has more strict firearms rules. Canada has one-hundred times the rate of firearms deaths of the UK, which has more strict firearms rules.

    That means the USA has 800 times the rare of firearms deaths as the UK. So when this mysterious 'civil war' happens, how many children will have died so that you can have that semi-auto AR-15 to fight off the drones of the American military, or the armoured vehicles of your cops?

    Instead of pretending One Man With A Gun is going to do something, maybe try voting locally. Maybe try de-arming your cops?

  • Do you think the cops are gonna disarm neonazis? Or will they just use gun bans as an excuse to murder more black people?

    You think black people with firearms are less likely to be shot by police?

    The goal isn’t to beat the cops. It’s to defend against neonazis.

    How's that going? Because from the outside, it looks like this.
